Carla sank down into the chair next to Fred at the breakfast table.

"Good morning", she smiled as she started piling food onto her plate.

"Good morning beautiful." Fred smirked and grabbed her around the waist pulling her in for a kiss. Carla giggle and kissed him back before pulling away blushing slightly.

"We're in public Fred." She admonished half-heartedly.

"I know, just making sure the rest of the guys in this place know to stay away from you." Fred smirked pulling her in for another kiss. This time she didn't protest, instead she smiled and kissed him back digging her fingers into his hair.

"Do us all a favour and get a room will you? You're in the middle of the bloody Great Hall if you didn't notice." A sour voice interrupted them and they broke apart.

"Wow, did you fall out of the bed on the wrong side this morning James?" Carla asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"No, I didn't. But then I ran into your best friend and she ruined my mood." James muttered darkly.

"Oh," Carla say cursing her friend silently for being so stupid, "I think I should go talk to her, see you later Fred, and James whatever she says don't listen to her." She said then getting up placing a light kiss on Fred's cheek before heading out of the hall.

Sophia groaned at hit her head to the tabletop for what probably was the 20th time by now. Why did he have to make it so bloody hard. She had been thinking it all through properly and this was the best way, no matter what she really wanted do. But oh, no, he had to corner her in the common room alone, making her resolve waver just by being so close to her. Stop it! She told herself hitting her head against the table top again.

"Yous really shouldn't be doing that miss." One of the little elfs in the kitchen said. Sophia smiled at her.

"Don't worry Pinky, I'll be fine, do you think I could get some tea please?" She asked rubbing her forehead that actually throbbing a little.

"Of course miss, anything miss wants. But shouldn't miss be in class?" Pinky asked seeming a little worried that she might have overstepped her boundaries.

"Yeah, I guess I should, but I'm not feeling very well this morning." Sophia said giving the Pinky another reassuring smile.

"Not feeling well? Does miss wants Pinky to get the Head Boy the helps her back tos her room fors her?" Pinky asked alarmed.

"Oh, no, no, it's not that bad, I just need some tea and rest and I'll be fi…" Sophia was interrupted by the door into the kitchens opening as Carla climbed in.

"Thought I'd find you here." She grinned at Sophia as she walked over. As she got closer though it turned into a scowl, as she saw the all the different versions of chocolate that was surrounding her best friend.

"What?" Sophia asked confused by the sudden scowl on her best friends face. Carla just pointed at the table in front of her.

"You are not allowed to do that. I met James at breakfast this morning before class. He said you ruined his good mood. So what lie did you tell him?" Carla asked her voice full of disapproval.

"I didn't lie, I told him it was just a kiss and that he should forget about it. And that's true, it was just a kiss. I also reminded him that technically he still has a girlfriend, since they're on a break and haven't actually broken up. And before you say anything, I'm not going to change my mind this is the best way." Sophia says looking her best friend in the eyes her jaw set.

"You know you are being stupid don't you?" Carla just ask as she starts to turn to head back out.

"No I'm being logical. It wouldn't work and…and He's already broken my heart, I'm not going put myself in that situation again ever, it hurts too much." Sophia finished in a whisper staring down at her hands. Carla sits right back down and pulls her into her arms stroking her hair gently as she feels her friend starting to shake with tears.

"It's okay sweetie. That's what it's all really about isn't it? You're scared it's just going to be like Nathan all over again? Well, let me tell you then, neither I or Rose or even Fred would let him do that to you, do you hear that?" Carla whispered and Sophia just nodded into her shoulder, "Good, now let's get to class before we both miss this one as well." Carla smiled standing up, pulling Sophia with her.

Rose's face beamed as she stepped out of arithmancy to find Scorpius leaning against the opposite wall waiting for her.

"You waited?" She said smiling brightly and Scorpius was momentarily dazed by the beauty of it, he still had a hard time believing she had said yes to go out with him at the beginning of the term and now it was almost Halloween, two months he smiled at the idea. They had been friends since that first poitions class in first year, but the fact that he was both a Malfoy and a Slytherin had made unsure about what she would say when he had asked her out. She of course called him silly every time he voiced this thought telling him: "I've told you, I don't care about any of that, silly Scorp." Finishing with giving him a kiss on the cheek every time.

"Yeah, I said I would didn't I Rosebud?" he smirked at the girl that he now was able to call his girlfriend. "I missed you, divination is so boring." He mumbled as he kissed her, he could fell her smile into the kiss before she pulled away to answer.

"I missed you too Scorp. And didn't I warn you, about divination, my mum always told me it was a complete waste of time. Even though dad says she's only saying that because that's the only thing she's not good at." Rose smiled then giggled at the mentioning of her parents antics.

"Well I think I'm inclined to agree with your mother on that one, complete waste of time." He smirked and bent down to kiss her again.

James stopped dead as he walked into his bedroom to find his bed already occupied by a girl surrounded by a bunch of book, but very much asleep. First he felt a surge of rage, what was she doing in here? This was his bedroom after all, and she was the one who had been avoiding him, telling him only this morning that it had only been kiss and that he should forget about it. Then he remembered Carla's words before she and Fred had left the quidditch pitch after practice was over, where he had stayed to just fly and clear his head a little bit.

*Flashback*

James stopped trying to wrestle the bludger into its place in the box as he saw Carla walking towards him.

"Fred's already off to the locker room I'm afraid, Carla." He said with a polite smile he wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone of Sophia's friends right now, especially not after this morning, no matter if they happened to be cousin and best mate's girlfriend.

"Oh, I know, it's you I want to talk to." She smiled, "And I want you to hear me out because it's important okay?"

"Fine" James muttered crossing his arms over his chest looking down at her.

"It's about Sophia," She raised her hand to silence him as she saw the protest forming on his face, "She's hurting James. I know she doesn't show it, but inside she's still hurting after everything that happened with Nathan, and therefore she'll take any excuse not to put herself in that situation again. I've managed to convince her to start talking to you again, because even though she refuses to admit it, you make her feel better. She'll probably be up waiting for you when you get back, wanting to give some explanation of her own and say sorry, so please don't give her to much of a hard time ok? And don't push her, please." Carla finished her entire face begging him to understand and do as she asked. He sighed and rubbed his face with his hands.

"I could never give her a hard time Carla, I like her way to much for that. But I still need to fly and clear my head first before I head back up." He had answered her plea.

*end of flashback*

Apparently he'd flown longer then he thought as the girl in question was now fast asleep on top of his bed surrounded by homework. He sighed and smiled tenderly down at her before starting to remove all the books surrounding her piling them on his desk. He then carefully wriggled the cover and duvet out from under her and put it over her before heading in to his bathroom to shower and get ready for bed.

When he returned he grabbed an extra pillow and a blanket, stroked her head softly and headed out to sleep on the couch.

It was to light, had James come back from training and lit the lamps? No it was to light for that. Sophia sat up in the bed pushing the duvet off of her. She froze and started looking around, off of her? No if she had fallen asleep it would have been on top of the duvet not under it, and her homework should be spread all over the bed, but no it was neatly stacked on top of James's desk. She scanned the room again, where was James? It was the only explanation she could come up with. He had come back, found her asleep on his bed, tucked her in and then…where was he? She got out of bed and checked the bathroom, but no, not there either. She frowned and headed out into the common room. She stopped and smiled when she saw James sprawled out on the couch. He had let her sleep in his bed and gone to sleep on the couch. She tip-toed over and looked down at him reaching out to stroke the wayward hair out of his face. Then his hand shot up and caught her wrist, Sophia froze watching almost hypnotized as he brought her hand down to his mouth and kissed her palm and then the tip of every finger.

"Good morning sleepy head, thought I was sleeping didn't you?" He said with a small smirk as he opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Umm…ye-yes." She answered blushing at being caught watching him sleep, then she remembered, "You should have woken me, I would have gone back to my own bed and you wouldn't have had to sleep on the couch." She added in a whisper.

"Why are you whispering?" James asked in a mock whisper, then went on in a normal voice, "And waking you up? When you finally seemed to be having a rest-and peace full sleep? I don't think so. For all I car you can sleep in my bed and I on the couch for the rest of the year if it means you will get some proper sleep." James said earnestly as he sat up and pulled Sophia down to sit next to him. Sophia just stared at him, she could feel her heart raising due to his proximity.

"James, I…" James put a hand over her mouth smiling at her.

"You don't need to apologize or explain, Carla came to talk to me yesterday, and I'm going to tell you this; I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going to push you, if you want me here as your friend, then I'll be here as your friend, I'll be whatever you want me to be because I really, really like you Sophia, I think I'm even going to go as far as to say I fancy you, so…here I am your friend or whatever else you want me to be." James said looking into her eyes hoping she could read the sincerity and truth of his words in them.

A/N: *Hides behind James* Please don't kill me!

I know it's a cliffhanger but I just thought it was so perfect to end this chapter like this and save Sophia's reaction for the next chapter.

So anyone else but me that died from sweetness overload thanks to James at the end?

And what did you think about the Frela and ScoRose parts?

PLS read and review :)
